I would disagree slightly here. EE is like majoring in assembly language. It is the wrong paradigm for value creation these days because most hardware startups require large capital expenditures upfront.
EE training also forces you into a mode of thought that focuses on concrete implementation rather than making what people want.
Turing taught us that any machine implemented in digital logic can be implemented with a basic microprocessor. Knowledge of transistor transfer functions and Nyquist plots are useless in a startup context these days.
